I'm using msysgit running on Windows XP.
Tried Ctrl+V, Right click, Middle click, google... no luck.

Try clicking the console's window icon (topleft) and choosing Edit -> Mark, then drag a box on the text, then press Enter.

What I want is to paste content `into` git bash. But thanks to you, I spotted `Edit -> Paste` which is exactly what I want! No more typing API code manually!

Glad my answer helped, even if slightly circuitously. ;)

A:
It's not really a function of git, msys, or bash; every windows console program is stuck using the same cumbersome copy/paste mechanism for hysterical raisins. Turning on QuickEdit mode can help -- or you can install a nice alternative console like this one, and change your git bash shortcut to use it instead.

A:
Aside from using the edit menu commands, you can directly paste into the git bash window using the keyboard shortcut, Control+Insert.
Correction: Just the insert key is necessary to paste.

A:
if your intention is copy/paste comments for git commits, try set the enviromental variable EDITOR as your favorite plain-text editor (notepad, notepad++ ...) and when you will commit, don't give him the -m option and Git will open your favorite editor for copy/paste you comment
